Hi everyone,
I have a fairly new 13.5 Evo with a pulsing xenia, mushroom and a 2 zoas as well as 2 clowns. I test my water every 3 days for ammonia, nirites and nitrates and was curios about AKH, Calc and Mag since I didn’t have a test kit.
Today I tested AKH at my local store and got a reading of 7.4akh with is low to me. The water I buy is made from Red Sea which I guess is normal.
I purchased a Red Sea test kit as well as B-Ionic 2 part dosing to raise my AKH. Can anyone give me pointers since I have such a small water base to work with. I want to raise my AKH to about 8-8.5 so my corals can be happier. My local store doses and their readings are between 8-8.5.
Sorry for being such a newb
